~Poem Recited by Alice - (Ch.2/Pg.28)


"How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
"How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws!"


Repetition- how is used three times within the whole poem.
Assonance- used with the words at the end of each sentence.
